What is the Framework?

At Playgroup Tasmania we believe that every child has the right to feel safe – physically, emotionally and mentally. We have developed a range of policies, procedures and other documents to help everyone in the Playgroup Tasmania community ensure that playgroups are safe, fun and welcoming for everyone.

To create this framework, we listened to children, their families, playgroups leaders, staff and volunteers. These insights helped to create a shared vision for child safety and wellbeing. We also considered recent changes to Tasmanian legislation, including the Child and Youth Safe Standards, the Universal Principle and the Reportable Conduct Scheme, to ensure we meet legal requirements.

Playgroup Tasmania acknowledges that we live, work and play on Aboriginal land, land of the palawa/pakana people of lutruwita (Tasmania). We pay our respects to the Tasmanian Aboriginal community, to elders past and present and to all those who continue caring for country, sharing stories and upholding rights.
